Flutterby™! : polarization with the naked eye

Elf had a link to Miracle of Science, a web comic about a future where evil geniusness has been discovered to be a memetic disease with known stages, and a cop with a past is teamed up with a partner from Mars, the secretive planet with the group mind, to hunt down one such before he takes over the solar system with giant killer robots.

I'm enjoying the archives, but as interesting are some of the links in the authors' comments down below. One of the topics mentioned was Haidinger's brush, a phenomenon which indicates that we can actually see polarization.
